Evening zoners,

There's a cover of some sort high up in the drivers side (rhd) rear wheel arch, I think it protects the fuel lines. Anyway, mine was rusty and pretty much fell off when I gave it a prod a while ago. I really need to replace it so am looking for which part it is, would I be right in thinking it's number 14 on here?

If it is this part does anyone know if these are still available from the dealer? I assume as mine has rusted away that is not the best thing to buy secondhand...

Cheers

Yes, it's #14. Cotswold will soon tell you if it's available, and at what price.
Protects the fuel vent lines.

Check the condition of your large rubber tube 5 in the drawing, it perishes badly but the vent tubes are nylon or something and last forever, good time to change it if it's stuffed

Did mine a while back, cover was like a tea strainer!

Cheers for the replies chaps.

Yeah my cover just broke apart in my hands as I tried to remove it. I'm doing a bit of rust repair on the previously (badly) repaired footwells this weekend so I'll check out the rubber tubes while I'm at it.

£70 is a bit steep but I suppose if that's the price that's the price.
